I have lately been watching Most Haunted. I dont know how many people watch it, but some of the stuff i see is pretty wierd. I watched their segment on Aneslle Hall in England, and it was prety wierd. They asked "spirits" to do stuff, and after some time it actually happened. I just also wtache dtheir segment on the jamaican inn, and again stuff happened, excpet this time they were "attacked" and push out of a room. I wanted some peoples thoughts on this. Derek, their medium, seems like a complete whacko. In the aneslle hall episode he gets possessed, and spekas in the tongue of the murderous spirit "Edward". Are these guys just lunatics or are they for real? - this is what derek looked like when he was possessed...lol

p.s-in the Aneslle hall segment, where one of the investigators is touched on the hand by Isabella or Isobel, he completely freaks out . As the camera is on him while he is checking his hand, a figure quickly appears and then dissapears to his left. Its a figgure of a woman. This is right after the first orb incident. If anyone saw this epsiode, could you tell me if you saw the smae thing. I T-Voed it so i have been checking it over an over, and its quite odd.

Yeah...Derek is pretty cool...once again he knew about everything that was happening...today i watched the episode on the BRewing Factory and they had some crzy stuff...They have on film, a barrel being moved, seemingly all by itself...it was totally sweet

Yeah...i mean, it was on film, and there absolutely no way someone could have been pushing it. We saw it in the wide open all by itself. And then when the glass cupboard got pushed really hard...wow, what power

Assuming they aren't faking this stuff, I would say that the presence of such a strong medium as Derek really brings out the spirits. Which furthermore explains why they guys on Ghost Hunters usually get bubkis on their gigs, as their approach is 100% tech-based. I'm convinced beyond all doubt that successful contact and evidence requires both technology and an open, willing mind. I wouldn't go so far as to say spirituality, but I firmly believe that making a mental & emotional connection with the spirits is what triggers contact and evidence. The two go hand in hand.

Bear in mind that I'm only talking about Derek and the other level-headed guys on the show, not the lovably ditsy Yvette with her schoolgirl squeals of fear everytime the wind whistles across the roof.

I can't wait to start watching it tonight when they go to London and try to contact Jack the Ripper. I'd like to see what Derek picks up. I think his being gay might have a lot to do with his sensitivity, but that's just me. Every medium is not gay, and every gay is not a medium. I just like gay men because I'm a BAD_WORD hag.

I believe Scotland Yard knew who the Ripper was, but I can't remember why he was never picked up.

Patricial Cornwell did her sleuthing about the Ripper, and came up with someone, but she was completely wrong about him.

And frankly, a person's sexual preference has nothing to do with this discussion.

Back on the proper topic. I did see that episode at the brewery a year or so ago, and that rolling barrel scene has got to be the single spookiest moment thus far!

Oh, and for those in North America...we will NOT be able to see the Jack the Ripper stuff as we are a season behind AND we DO NOT get the Live episodes. You can purchase them on DVD through Living TV (I have the web address at home), but you need to have an international DVD player
